Disney Goes From Reel to Real

Disney has preemptively picked up Reel to Real, a family fantasy pitch by Eric Saiet and Andrea Maywhort-Scully, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The story involves a magical film projector.

Saiet and Maywhort-Scully, based in New York, are newcomers to the screenwriting trade though, in Saiet’s case, not to the industry. He acted as a youngster (his first credit is Ferris Bueller’s Day Off) and has had dozens of TV appearances.
